Additionally, Jesse reported[2] "there was a small problem during image creation that led to the x86_64 Live KDE actually being the content for the x86_64 Live XFCE.  I have recreated these images and updated the master mirror and the torrent server."
 
For full disclosure, here are the SHA1SUMs of each:

The public is invited to do the following:
